Book Description:
Once an aspiring actress, Dana Coakley has abandoned the bright lights of stardom for a less glamourous position: as superintendent of an Upper West Side apartment building. The pay isn't great, and grouting and plumbing aren't dream work, but the rent is free, and it gives her more time to work with the disadvantaged inner-city kids she tutors.
One of those kids, Travis, confides in Dana that he believes a fatal fire in a low-income housing building was actually the work of an arsonist, and not the accident it was deemed. Dana begins investigating, but her snooping unearths more questions than it answers. What does a wealthy real-estate mogul have to do with the fire? What does a teenage drug lord know about it? And can Dana-with the help of her wisecracking friends-solve the case between leaky faucets, loose tiles, and whiny tenants?

Wasn't expecting much from this, but throughly enjoyed it. Light, funny, something different in a cozy and I loved the main character. Sorry there aren't any more in the series.

Brenda W. (Entertaining, witty mystery with great characters and plenty of action. Sorry when it ended...
Not one of Ellen Emerson White's best books, but even her lesser efforts are better than most people's best. Part of the scene where Dana is kidnapped and threatened reminded me of the scenes in Long Live the Queen and Tis the Season (#3 of Echo Company, which she wrote under the name Zack Emerson), but not in the way William Bernhardt plagarizing Long Live the Queen reminded me of that book. This was supposed to be the first of a series, but we still haven't seen Dana's first case with the detective agency she's supposed to join.
